DETROIT -- An estimated 208,000 electric vehicles are being recalled by Hyundai and Kia because of an issue with a transistor that can lead to a loss of drive power. According to the Associated Press, ...

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.

Download this article in PDF format. When you connect the gate to the source of a JFET (junction field-effect transistor), it becomes a two-terminal current source. The current that will flow is ...

Finding a problem with your prototype board is bad enough, but when the bug is in your latest IC masterpiece, you know it’s going to be a bad day. Heads may roll. The verification of digital IC ...

Negative-bias temperature instability is a growing issue at the most advanced process nodes, but it also has proven extremely difficult to tame using conventional approaches. That finally may be ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Modeling the performance of an analog device with SPICE is one of the standard techniques used by circuit designers to perform initial characterization and performance analysis before putting together ...

Designing, constructing, testing, and improving circuits—especially those with significant analog content—was always one of my interests. The fact that you could arrange standard active and passive ...
